The typical way of doing this is to use scattering media that is dense
enough to obscure what's behind it. You might also want to blur the
texture using the averaged textures trick...it would get pretty slow
though. If your object is a thin sheet, just using the double_illuminate
flag might work...that makes a light source illuminate both sides of a
surface.
